MOSS POINT, Miss. (WLOX) - A large crowd of family, former students and friends gathered in Moss Point as they dedicated a street to a beloved educator who lost his life in 2016.
Dr. Willie C. Williams served in the Moss Point School District for over 30 years. Williams’s sister, Glennie Williams, said that his work has touched generations of people.
“The community recognizing what Dr. Williams was, and still is, as a result of his work in the community says a lot,” said Glennie. When I say, ‘and still is,’ I mean that lives on through his students and the educational system. His work has a lasting impact on the community.”
